Eden Hazard has hinted that he will be staying at Chelsea next season by announcing he will wear the No10 shirt at Stamford Bridge.

Hazard, who has worn No17 since signing for the club in 2012, confirmed the switch on Chelsea’s website.

The 23-year-old has been persistently linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks but his latest comments suggest he will be going nowhere. “I am very pleased to be able to wear the No10 for Chelsea,” Hazard said. “It is my favourite number and is one I am used to wearing for the national team, as well as the one worn by some of my heroes from when I was a kid, like Zinedine Zidane.

“I hope it brings me a lot of luck in the future and I look forward to the fans seeing me in it next season.”

Hazard, who was named Chelsea’s player of the year last month, takes over the No10 shirt vacated by Juan Mata after the Spaniard moved to Manchester United in January.
